Title: Progress!!

Interesting view of progress we have endured over the last 30 years.  Do you think this has been an improvement?  Click Explore the World in lower right hand corner of picture, then type in Tulsa, OK.  Then watch.  Can also go just about everywhere else...Mendenhall Glacier is interesting.  Who doesn't believe in global climate change?

Interesting to see the Creek Turnpike finished out and South Tulsa growing.  Neat app!

Yes and as you see Tulsa fill up during that time you can easily imagine how in around 20 years there won't be any quick/easy suburban growth areas left in the city limits. (There will be available land in North Tulsa but I don't see that as being competitive as the suburban areas will be for suburban growth attractive to new families.)  Yet we seem to not be changing our zoning laws, and future oriented infrastructure priorities, away from them currently only promoting suburban style development and discouraging quality infill and urban development.
